How often should I repot my plants?

There's no set schedule for repotting - it depends on the plant's growth rate and root development. Signs it's time to repot include:

  • Roots circling the pot or pushing through drainage holes.
  • Water running quickly through the pot without absorbing.
  • Soil breakdown or compaction.

Some slow-growing plants can go several years without needing a new pot.
